Random exploding metal generators.

from AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Playing as the PHC, sometimes, and I mean sometimes, the metal extractor would explode for no reason. Furthermore, there was a chance that it would keep exploding.

I got my fix on explosions, but still !

There is no particular reason that I could see to trigger the explosions. I had taken over the node.

Also as a suggestion, could we get more Robot type male voices on the Substrate that sound masculine and forceful:

'We will win the war'

'We will crush them'

'Building complete'

Also, I like the idea of keeping female voices on the Dred's to keep alignment of the sexes. More receptionist please.

Also, the kinda drilling noise when a metal extractor is built needs review. Seems out of place, and the volume for that item is too high.

 

Thanks

Did this happen prior to the beta? I ask because the most recent update gave aircraft the ability to hit ground targets, and extractors are particularly vulnerable. So I'm wondering if the enemy was doing that, but you didn't catch them in the act (they move fast).

I can second PHC the exploding metal mining bug. It only occured in one game i played online against tictock. Keep in mind this big is a visual and very loud explosion but does not affect the mental extractor in any way. It is as if it just is using the wrong animation/noise at the moment it is done constructing.

No plane.

My engineer parked its butt next to the metal extractor.

I would say that football has it right as I can't build in that space. So, there must be a metal extractor there  -hence an animation issue.

Freaking me out.  Lol

These extractors just exploding everywhere lol
